2Product Certification

2.1 CE Information

Electronic test equipment is subject to the EMC Directive in the European

Union. The EN61326 standard prescribes both emission and immunity

requirements for laboratory, measurement, and control equipment.

This unit has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A

digital device. Contact FISO for access to the Declaration of Conformity.

2.2 Independent Laboratory Testing

This unit has undergone extensive testing according to the European Union Directive and Standards. All

pre-qualification tests were performed internally, at FISO, while final tests were performed externally, at

an independent, accredited laboratory. This guarantees the unerring objectivity and authoritative

compliance of all test results.

Use of shielded remote I/O cables, with properly grounded shields and metal connectors, is

recommended in order to reduce radio frequency interference that may emanate from these cables.

Shielded I/O cables are recommended to improve protection against lightning surge if unit or cables are

installed in an outdoor area. See certificate and tests of compliance.

EasyGrid has been extensively tested to stringent environmental standards to ensure it remains reliable

when used under published specifications.

Contact FISO for any inquiry related to monitor certification.

IMPORTANT

Refers to information about this product you should not

overlook.

3.2 Safety Information

The level of radiation from the monitor light sources is below the level known to cause eye injury

through accidental short-term exposure. However, avoid prolonged exposure to light emitted from the

fiber and do not stare directly at any light beam, visible or not.

The following safety instructions must be observed whenever the EasyGrid is operated. Failure to comply

with any of these instructions or with any precaution or warning contained in the Nortech Fiber Optic

Thermometer and Client Software user’s guide is in direct violation of the standards of design,

manufacture and intended uses of the EasyGrid. FISO assumes no liability for the customer failure to

comply with these safety requirements. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE IN LIFE SUPPORT OR

CRITICAL HUMAN APPLICATIONS.

In no case will FISO be liable to the buyer, or to any third parties, for any consequential damage or

indirect damage that is caused by product failure, malfunction, or any other problem.

FISO recommends using the qualified power supply available for purchase with your EasyGrid and verify

that the voltage specifications indicated on the power supply are compatible with the AC voltage and

frequency delivered at the power outlet.

EasyGrid User Guide MAN-00084 R 11.0

When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the

following:

Do not operate in wet/damp conditions.

Do not expose to outdoor conditions. Install the unit in a protective enclosure.

Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.

Keep product surfaces clean and dry.

WARNING

This equipment must be used as specified or the protection provided by the equipment may be

compromised. You must use this product in a normal mode and should not deviate from the

written instructions provided.

CAUTION

There are no user serviceable parts inside the Nortech EasyGrid. Adjusting parts inside the unit

can affect instrument performance. If you adjust parts, you will need to verify the equipment for

good performance. Refer servicing of any other parts to qualified personnel.

3.3 Unpacking and Inspection

The EasyGrid unit is shipped inside a cardboard box designed to give maximum protection during

shipment. If the shipping box external surface is damaged, notify your shipping department immediately.

Your shipping department may want to notify the carrier.

If the shipping box is not damaged, carefully remove and identify all of the components listed below.

Contact FISO or your local representative if any of the components are missing. We recommend you save

the shipping box for future storage or transportation.

The EasyGrid package should include the following components:

Nortech EasyGrid

Power terminal wires (16 AWG)

USB interface cable

ST Optical Connector One Click Cleaner

Calibration Certificate

4First Steps

4.1 Introducing the Nortech EasyGrid

The EasyGrid fiber optic temperature measurement system is designed for real-time monitoring of

transformer hotspots.

It can be configured to have 4 to 18 channels. Modules can be daisy chained to a maximum of 32, which

gives the possibility to have up to 576 channels in a single system. Each unit has multiple serial

interfaces (1 x USB and 1 x RS485) and 1x optional Ethernet communication port. Supported

communication protocols are Nortech and MODBUS (RTU and ASCII). Optional supported

communication protocols are IEC-61850, IEC-60870-5-104, DNP3 and TCPIP-MODBUS, either through an

RJ45 output or an ST optical output.

4.2 Quick Start

4.2.1 Powering the EasyGrid

The EasyGrid requires 24 volts DC (± 10%) power. The power input terminal block is coloured orange for

additional visual aid.

WARNING

Make sure to have a power supply providing the specified power and compatible with your local

power outlet

Power Input

ON/OFF Switch

EasyGrid User Guide MAN-00084 R 11.0

1. Make sure that the power switch is OFF when connecting the power supply to the unit.

2. Wire the power input terminal block to a power supply providing the required voltage and

respect connector polarity.

3. Power up the unit using the ON/OFF switch located on the panel above the relay terminal block.

4.2.2 Connecting Temperature Sensors

The EasyGrid is compatible with all FISO TPT-62 sensors. No calibration factor or calibration procedure is

required to get accurate temperature measurements.

1. Remove the protective cap from the Male ST Connector and ST Mating

2. Using the One Click tool clean the Male ST connector and the ST Mating

3. Align the male connector alignment key with the mating slot.

4. Insert ceramic ferrule of the Male ST connector in the ST Mating

5. After making sure it is properly inserted, Push and Twist to lock the spring loaded ring to the ST

Mating

EasyGrid User Guide MAN-00084 R 11.0

4.2.3 Reading Temperature Measurements

With the power switch to ON and sensors connected you can read the temperature of each sensor on

the EasyGrid display, up to 18 channels at one time, as displayed below.
